Default Glueing Losi studs for 2wd, the "OFFICIAL" guide

As prompted by several peeps, here is the official guide to glueing Losi studs onto 2WD rims in such a way as to allow the car to fit in "the box"



Losi Red Studs, Losi insert and B4 wheel.



Turn the tyre inside out to expose the beads.



Cut the bead off on one side of the tyre. This side will be the become the outside of the tyre when you fit them. Make this the side without writing on.



Now return the tyre to have the inside in. Fit the insert. Your tyre should look as this pic.



Fit the tyre and insert to the wheel. At this point the inside bead should be left overhanging the wheel (as shown) .DO NOT glue this side of the tyre in this position. You are doing this in order to pull the outside bead toward the centre of the wheel.



Apply rubber bands to the tyre to hold the bead in place. Now apply the tyre glue and allow to dry.


Finally, seat the inside bead into the wheel as normal and glue tyre in place. Allow glue to dry and job done
